The Trouble with Jessica (2023) Matt Winn

October 7th 2024

Waits For You

Rufus Wainwright’s self-title debut in 1998 established him as solid adult-pop performer. These are not songs crafted for the hit-parade but to express Rufus’s queer view of the world without being political. Various styles from musical-hall, nightclub & pop it is a great lp. But too adult for me in the long run. I’ve heard his later work & it just wasn’t for me. Now Tom Waits is a different…

The Trouble With Jessica (NR): More mentions of Clafouti than any movie in history!

#OneMannsMovies #FilmReview of "The Trouble With Jessica". #TheTroubleWithJessica. A good old fashioned farce with black comedy, well delivered. 4/5.

A One Mann’s Movies Film Review of “The Trouble With Jessica” (2024). Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet for a couple of weeks… I’ve been on holiday doing ‘old stuff’ in Egypt. But one of the movies on my Air Egypt flight was “The Trouble With Jessica”, which is actually not out in the UK until April 5th. The only problem was that Air Egypt muted any bad language and there is a lot of it in this…

[johannestevans]

i am in the mood for characters who are MEN (men. only men.) who are prim/fussy/particular and who are gay/queer and/or ace and weirdly intimate with other men

favoured professions are accountants and secretaries and personal assistants and clerks, nurses and doctors, concierges and receptionists, maître d's, butlers, valets, etc

no anime or cartoons. no children's media. no cishet sitcoms or romcoms. NO BOOKS, no comics, just TV and film please. does anyone have any recs?

(this is bc i really liked daniel brühl's char in Burnt (2015), but the best example is always rufus drumknott and havelock vetinari; harold finch and to a lesser extent john reese; spencer reid, etc)

Blacknatural

I've been rewriting and recasting Blacknatural in my head so here's the updated cast + storylines. Some of these casting decisions have fundamental story changes, but some of them don't have to change at all (gee it's almost like Black people are just as capable of representing the human experience as white people..........)

Mary Campbell Winchester: Nicole Beharie

Mary comes from a long line of hunters who balance hunting and living a life by operating more as defenders than hunters. They never seek out threats, they only defend their community against monsters that do harm. She's good at what she does and loves doing it. When she announces she's marrying John Winchester, a white man her parents have never met who actively enlisted to fight in Iraq, they're understandably against it. She's constantly self-sabotaging the relationship bc "something" is telling her it's not right (it's her free will resisting the Cupid match with everything she's got). The night of the fire, she's finally gathered up the ability to leave them. Sam cries and she goes to comfort her one last time (she does love them even if she never wants them and can't be maternal) and that's when the fire strikes. When she comes back, it’s like no time has passed for her but suddenly her children are adults. She tries to be their mom again, thinking it might be easier since they’re grown, but they still want and expect things from her that she can’t give, so she strikes out on her own again.

When she learns she and John were a Cupid match, she’s both angry that she wasn’t given any agency in her life and relieved that she wasn’t the one who fucked up her life with bad choices.

Dean Winchester: Keiynan Lonsdale

His only frame of reference for masculinity is the middle-class white masculinity shown on motel cable TV and the movies they snuck into (man cave, cars, objectifying women, beer, physical strength, etc). His performance of this + skill at hunting attracted something close enough to approval from John, and raised no eyebrows from almost anyone else, so it let him fly under the radar. But he's cultivated this performance so thoroughly that he's not even sure there is an authentic self underneath it.

Sam Winchester: Storm Reid

Sam has struggled her whole life with other's perceptions of her. The siblings' upbringing is seen by others as very white trash, but she obviously doesn't neatly fit into that category. But being raised by John, who made no effort to celebrate or even recognize their Blackness, gave her no connection to her own Blackness to draw on. At Stanford, she double majors in pre-law and African-American Studies, joins the BSU, and does everything she can to make her narrative #BlackExcellence despite constantly feeling like an imposter. Her dating Jess, a white girl, doesn't make that much easier. She and Jess are a Cupid match, though we don't find this out until later.

Mirroring Mary, she doesn't have a maternal bone in her body. When she's suddenly left with Kevin when Dean and Cas get sent to Purgatory, she does her best but is struggling and resentful the whole time. When Kevin is taken by Crowley, she's secretly relieved and makes no effort to rescue him. The guilt of this haunts her for the rest of the show, even though she's fully aware that she would do it again if she had the chance to do it over. Because of this, she isn't resentful of resurrected Mary being unable/unwilling to be a mother to them the same way Dean is.

Rufus Turner: Steven Williams

Rather than leaving the kids with Bobby, John would instead leave them with Rufus, with Bobby instead being a fellow hunter that Rufus knows (essentially flipping their roles narratively). Rufus and John didn't get along, with John devaluing his years of experience and dismissing his approach to hunting as focusing on defending his town of Greenwood, Mississippi (similar to the Campbell family). With this ideology, he would take the kids hunting for animals rather than monsters, and did his best to plant the idea in them that the only supernatural beings that need to be hunted are the ones actively causing harm, encouraging them not to "chase trouble". While he would never send them out on hunts across the country, he would assist them with advice, resources, and fake FBI verification whenever asked. He also gave both of them The Talk about police, since John didn't know or care to.

Castiel: DeRon Horton

Compounding his difficulty in understanding and interacting with humans is the added layer of racism. White people are less forthcoming at best and outright hostile at worst. When interacting with Black people, he misses most if not all of the cultural references and understandings they expect him to have. (Someone tries to dap him up. This does not go well for him.) This also strains his relationship with Claire; he looks like her father but has no context for family in-jokes and stories, Black cultural references and understandings, or American references.

Because he has no context for these references, but recognizes that they seem to be important, he looks up every reference that someone makes that he misses. Sam is the only person who will explain a reference to him, having had to do the same thing to try and fit in at Stanford.

Eileen Leahy: Treshelle Edmond

Being a Black Deaf lesbian hunter has made her used to taking care of herself, being either infantilized or disregarded by most in whatever situation she finds herself in. Not only is she excellent at taking care of herself, she knows that even the most well-meaning people cannot take care of her as well as she can. Sam's instinct to respect her skill and defer to her understanding makes Eileen feel finally seen, and is why Sam's attempts at being protective feel so smothering to her. They're both independent people who come together by choice, not by necessity. She's thrown by the revelation of Chuck's interference because it calls into question whether she's done so well because of her own merit, or because of his interference. It also means that every fucked-up thing she's endured hasn't been from the random chaos of life, which she can understand and accept, but has instead been deliberate decisions caused by yet another person in a position of power who decided their narrative was more important than her own autonomy.

Rowena Mcleod: Dominique Jackson

Condemned to death by the British for practicing Obeah, which they called witchcraft and devilry, she was able to escape and survive through a mix of cunning and magic. She aimed to survive and thrive despite the colonizers running rampant through her country, and viewed Crowley as an obstacle to that and so abandoned him. As she and Sam bond, she helps her tap back into the abilities that were there that the demon blood enhanced. As Sam, still wrestling with ideas of purity regarding human and non-human, struggles with this, Rowena points out that ideas of purity like that are colonial philosophies. It is pure because it is innate to her, denying it is the real impurity.

Adam Milligan: Jaboukie Young-White

Azazel/Yellow Eyes: Lakeith Stanfield

@daalcuntynatural and I talked about this before. He just has an otherworldly and unsettling vibe that makes him absolutely perfect.

Mr. Tran: Osric Chau

Mr. Tran is a devoted single father to high school student Kevin Tran. Unlike John, Mr. Tran goes out of his way to celebrate Kevin's dual heritage. Kevin's mom passed away when Kevin was a baby due to complications from birth that the hospital staff didn't take seriously. Because of this, Mr. Tran is a bit overprotective because he is very aware that people will not always take Kevin's concerns and struggles as seriously as they deserve. Kevin, in turn, pushes himself very hard (too hard) because he doesn't want all of his father's hard work to be for nothing.

Osric was done so dirty on this show (killed off over and over), and deserves the opportunity to have some fucking dignity.

Gratitude

Comfy-vember Day 16 Prompt: Reading Aloud

The tavern door creaked open.

“Rufus, I told you already. It’s Sunday morning, we don’t open until later,” Liliana said. Did the man ever do anything but drink?

“Excuse me, but I’m looking for the owner.”

Liliana popped her head up from behind the counter where she’d been moving casks around. “That’s me.”

The sandy-haired man nodded. His official looking uniform was damp from the rain. “Liliana?”

She nodded, and he opened the bag he had slung over one shoulder and pulled out a large package. “I’m under explicit instructions to hand this to no one but you or your husband.”

The package was addressed to her and Alton, but she didn’t recognize the handwriting. Delivery via courier would have cost a good sum; she had no idea who would have spent that much to send them mail.

“You arrived on the ship this morning?” she asked.

“Yes, miss. I’ll be returning when she leaves port tomorrow, if you’d like to write a reply before then. All my expenses have all ready been covered, so no charge.”

“You need a room for tonight, then?”

“And meals, if possible.”

She nodded, still pondering the mystery package.

Ten minutes later, after setting the courier up with his room and breakfast, she cut the strings with her belt knife and carefully unwrapped the contents.

A pouch, well padded, jingled as she freed it from its wrappings. A second bundle proved to be a set of wooden tops, finely carved; meant, she assumed, for her son, Jadon. The last items were two envelopes closed with seals she also didn’t recognize. She broke the seal on one and pulled out the letter inside. She read the first few sentences, then hurried to the back door of their tavern, grinning.

“Alton! Take a break for a minute and come inside. You too, Grandma.”

Alton took one last swing at the log he’d been chopping despite the light drizzle, then set his ax down. He moved over to his wife and looked over her shoulder. “Who’s it from?”

“Just listen,” and she started reading out loud, struggling with some of the longer words.

To Liliana, Alton, Edith, and Jadon,

I hope this letter finds you all doing well; it’s been several months since I left Llewdor to try my luck in Daventry, and I imagine it will take a while more for it to reach you.

The voyage, as you warned, was doomed from the start; Reid had no intention of honoring our agreement. But his traitorous actions begot him nothing but misery; I escaped, along with a portion of his ill-gotten treasure.

You’ll find a pouch enclosed along with this letter; I’ve found it only fitting that you should be the recipients of said coins. Both for the years you were forced to endure his patronage, and your invaluable assistance and the incredible kindness you showed me.

In summary, I managed to arrive in Daventry in the end. The dragon is now dead, and to my astonishment and jubilation, I have reunited with my family at last. As I’m sure you’ll note from my signature below,

Liliana glanced further down at the signature; her eyes went wide.

Alton, who couldn’t read at all, became impatient. “Keep going! And what is this pouch he’s talking about?!”

“Shh!”

As I’m sure you’ll note from my signature below, it has been more than I ever could have imagined! But the real shock for me has been just how welcoming and accepting they have been. If ever you were concerned about my fate, you may well put those fears to rest.

My good fortune could never have come about without your aid. Forever grateful and in your debt,

Prince Alexander of Daventry

P.S. I’ve added a toy for Jadon as well; please give him my regards, though given his young age I’m unsure if he’ll remember me.

“I thought his name was Gwydion?” Edith asked, confused.

“That was the name Manannan called him,” Alton explained. To Liliana, he said, “He told us his real name right before he left, remember?”

Edith looked indignant. “And did you also know he was a prince and never told me?”

“No, no, he never mentioned that. If he even knew himself,” Liliana said. “Can you believe it? That sweet little slip of a boy!”

“Good for him; he deserves it,” Alton said.

Liliana handed him the pouch; while he and Edith opened it and gasped at the contents, Liliana broke the seal on the second, shorter letter, reading silently this time.

To the proprietors of the Port Bruce Tavern,

My son tells me you rendered him crucial aid at a time both he and my daughter were in peril. I cannot begin to express how thankful I am for your help in both saving their lives and in our son’s return. If you ever find yourself in Daventry, please know that you are welcome any time as our honored guests.

A most grateful mother,

Queen Valanice of Daventry

Her heart went out to this woman she had never met. Queen or not, she was a mother all the same; Liliana could not imagine how she would have managed if Jadon had been taken from her. Being turned into a cat was too good for that wretched wizard.
